Sorry for the little break in the blogging. I was out of town for a few days on vacation. While I was gone several new products came in. I’ll review them below.
2010 Topps Heritage BB appears to be a solid product. Its content and breakdown hasn’t changed much over the years, but it continues to perform regardless. It has some nice stuff in there, but is much more of a set building type of product than a high end, chase type of product.
2009 Upper Deck Ultimate Collection FB has been up and down. There are definitely some awesome hits. However, I’m not sure about some of the “legends” that they threw into the Legends Autograph Set. And I wish the Autograph RCs would only include the best guys. I’m not a fan of seeing people pay close to $100 for a pack and getting a Brandon Pettigrew or Hakeem Nicks Auto as their hit card. That’s pretty bogus. With that said, I still think it’s a decent product to open because there are some very cool inscriptions and patches.
The 09/10 Certified BK has looked solid so far. It amazes me how much some of the numbered inserts sell for out of the Panini BK products. The hits in Certified don’t overly excite me, but getting 4 hits for the price isn’t bad. I do miss the multi-swatch Mirror RCs like you have in football. Those are some of my favorite cards. The low end stuff sells really well though.
March appears to be a relatively slow month release wise. Because of this, we’re planning some great specials to keep the interest up. 2007 UD Exquisite Rookies continues to be our best selling product whenever we put it on sale. We are getting a little low on this one, so don’t miss out on this product. Once it’s gone, we won’t be able to get any more of it in. Also, we got some 2009 Topps Sterling back in stock.
On a sports note, congrats to Canada for winning the Hockey Gold Medal. It was a great game. I couldn’t believe when the U.S. tied it with about a minute remaining. The Canadian team looked possessed once the OT started as Ryan Miller was under attack. I was happy to see Crosby score the winning goal. I’ll miss not watching the Olympics every night. They were pretty exciting this year.
Well, I hope everyone is off to a great week. Look for tons of specials this month as we have a bit of a spring cleaning.
